Love it!

DrSteveJ, please meet Patrick Madrid, a (unlike us frank amateurs) "professional" Catholic apologist.

Patrick, please meet DrSteveJ, our in house Calvinist expert, protestant minister, and adopted next "Pope." (Its an ongoing joke, see DrSteveJ's Free Republic profile page. DrSteveJ is one of the kindest and most sincere non-Catholic debaters you will meet here.)

Greetings to you, DrSteveJ.

Thanks for the intro, Polycarp.

PM, I like your style (the RC Pick-Up Lines). And Poly, thanks for the kind introduction.

Patrick, I am curious what you think of Gerry Matatics? GM did his PhD work at Westminster Seminary and became a RC prior to doing a dissertation. I went through the same program prior to him and after eight years finally completed mine.

I am impressed with his ability to defend the RC position viz-viz historic Protestantism. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see his struggles with the modern, post Vatican II, church.
